Bajardo's typical dessert celebrates in the heart of summer
In the village of Bajardo (Province of Imperia), perched on the hills of the Sanremo hinterland, the dessert tradition is celebrated with the Crustuli Festival. The crustuli are a typical dessert of the town, prepared according to recipes passed down from generation to generation, and this festival makes it the protagonist of a summer evening.
The event offers the tasting of this specialty, accompanied by the convivial atmosphere typical of village festivals. The streets and squares of the village come alive, and the preparation of the dessert becomes an occasion for the community and visitors who come up here to discover the authentic flavors of the Imperia hinterland.
The Crustuli Festival is one of the events in Bajardo's rich summer calendar, which also includes the historic Festa Ra Barca and the Jazz Festival. In a village that preserves centuries-old traditions, this gastronomic festival testifies to the deep bond of the town with its peasant culture and the local cuisine, in the heart of the Riviera di Ponente.
